Summary
Cyberpunk 2077houses some incredible locations within and outside of Night City. Players can explore many nooks and crannies inCyberpunk 2077, so long as they are brave enough to go there. Pacifica is one such location, and it’s best to bring some iron and an escape vehicle in case things go south when exploring the dangers lurking in this underdeveloped slum of Night City.
Enter Pacifica, a locationin the echelons of Night Citywhere the police don’t even bother to enforce the law due to the high levels of crime and gangs that feature within. Without police, Pacifica harbors plenty of intrigue.
6Pacifica Serenity Bible Church
A Chapel With A Fallout Shelter For The Voodoo Boys In The Basement
The church in Pacifica makes for a pretty decent setting as players step into a sermon here while trying to get in touch with the Voodoo Boys. While said sermon is taking place,V is taken aside and brought to the Voodoo Boys, who give him the less-than-enviable task of breaking into the “abandoned” mall nearby to secure something valuable.
The church itself becomes pretty desolate after this quest is over, but that doesn’t mean players can drink in the sight of what is one of the more somber locations in the game. Given how much gang warfare takes place in Night City, most people would appreciate the opportunity to stick around here and take in the sights of the city before moving on to bigger and better things.
5Grand Imperial Mall
An Abandoned Mall Occupied By The Animals
The Grand Imperial Mall could’ve been a major landmark that let civilization creep into the lawless land of Pacifica, but corpos screwed around so much with this location that it was ultimately abandoned. This allowed both the Animals and Scavengers to set up bases here, using this building as a hideout to run their operations.
During V’s mission in this mall, they’ll be tasked with taking out a wealth of Animals before coming face to face with their leader, Sasquatch. This bulked-up fighter hits like a truck and will force players to employ run-and-gun tactics to step out of melee range and slowly whittle her health bar down from a distance.
4Batty’s Hotel
A Base For The Voodoo Boys
At a glance, Batty’s Hotel seems like nothing more than one of the many abandoned buildings in Pacifica that couldn’t stand the heat of the gangs that operated with impunity in this location. While this is true to an extent, players will also realize in due time that this area serves as a base of operations for the Voodoo Boys.
Fans ofBlade Runnerwould be surprised to know thatthis hotel is named after the character Roy Batty. The origami figure in the logo and one of his quotes mentioned on a plaque inside further cement this fact. This is the hotel where players meet Placide and Brigitte for the first time, leading to a shaky partnership.
3Wild Blue
A Hotel & Spa With The Big Flamingoes Being A Notable Aspect Of This Landmark
Unlike most of the areas in Pacifica, Wild Blue isn’t a locationthat is relevant for any questline. The most a player can expect is an Assault in Progress they can complete here, which makes for nothing more than a simple combat encounter.
Still, the amazing visual design present here should definitely be lauded. The Wild Blue Hotel & Spa looks amazing at night, and players can always try to parkour their way to the top of the flamingo’s head at the top of the building if they wish to challenge themselves.
2Maglev Tunnel
The Voodoo Boys Hideout Located Underneath The Church In Pacifica
The Voodoo Boys are known for messing about with the Net, showing a particular interest in the Blackwall. They’ve tried multiple times to breach this firewall with varying levels of success, forming a hideout under the Pacifica Church to make their netrunning activities easier to manage.
It’s here that V finally talks to Alt for the first time, taking the aid of the Voodoo Boys even after being betrayed by them. After their productive chat with Alt, V can either take their revenge on the Voodoo Boys or leave them be. They aren’t presented with this option ifthey decide to trust the NetWatch agent in the previous mission, who plants a bug that takes out the Netrunners in this base.
1Pacifica Pier
One Of The Few Beautiful Locations In Pacifica
Pacifica is mostly in ruins when V visits this location, showing that perhaps the Night City Police Department could’ve done something here if they’d been serious about enforcing the law here. So, it’s always nice to see that there are still some beautiful locations that players can access here.
The Pacifica Pier is one such location that lets players enjoy a great view of the ocean. It’s too bad that most people will be too busyhunting down a Cyberpsycho hereto take in the sights.
